Camouflage

Camouflage is the use of any combination of materials, coloration or illumination for concealment. Personal camouflage didn't come into wide use until the World Wars, when certain units started to distribute camouflage uniforms to their troops to give them an advantage over enemies. For the most part, camouflage uniforms were reserved for elite units, such as the German Waffen-SS and parts of the United States Marine Corps. This stayed like this until the Vietnam War, when camouflage was more widely distributed to the troops, in the form of the ERDL Jungle Jacket. Then, in September 1981, the United States Army released the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) in the M81 Woodland pattern, to replace the olive drab uniforms that had been used since 1952. This marked a turning point in camouflage, when most countries started to use it. NVM I'm done now somebody clean this page up ;)
